LANTUS SOLOSTAR (Insulin Glargine): Treats Diabetes or Improves Glycemic Control

Description

“Although, your health condition may impact your everyday life, do not let it define who you are.” Lantus Solostar (insulin glargine) is used to treat type 1 diabetes (condition in which the body does not produce insulin and therefore cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood). It is also used to treat people with type 2 diabetes (condition in which the body does not use insulin normally and, therefore, cannot control the amount of sugar in the blood) who need insulin to control their diabetes. In patients with type 1 diabetes, insulin glargine must be used with another type of insulin (a short-acting insulin). In patients with type 2 diabetes, insulin glargine also may be used with another type of insulin or with oral medication(s) for diabetes. Lantus Solostar (insulin glargine) is a long-acting, man-made version of human insulin. It works by replacing the insulin that is normally produced by the body and by helping move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. It also stops the liver from producing more sugar. Thanks and may you have a good understanding about this drug— Lantus Solostar (insulin glargine).
